Step 1

Mix ingredients of Italian Sausage seasoning (found in my recipes) and add desired amount to ground chicken. Allow flavors to infuse until its called for in the recipe or overnight in refrigerator

Step 2

Adjust rack to top position and heat broiler to high. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Trim and quarter zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Peel and finely chop garlic.

Step 3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably ovenproof, pan over high heat. Add zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until browned and tender, 4-5 minutes. Turn off heat; remove from pan and set aside.

Step 4

Once water is boiling, add pasta to pot. Cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain.

Step 5

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for zucchini over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Add garlic and Italian Seasoning; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste until thoroughly coated.

Step 6

Slowly stir 1 cup plain water (1½ cups for 4 servings) into pan with sausage mixture until combined. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring often, until sauce is thickened, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cream cheese and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP butter for 4) until melted.

The broiler is a powerful tool!) Let cool slightly, then divide between plates.
